The outspoken rap star has consciously withdrawn himself from the spotlight since cancelling the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour in 2016 due to stress and exhaustion, and Kanye is said to currently be in a great frame of mind.

The rapper was spotted earlier this week heading into the recording studio with his laptop and was spotted leaving in exactly the same clothes the next day, showing that Kanye is back on it.

A source close to the award-winning musician explained: ‘Kanye is in a good place right now. He’s working on his music and laying low.

‘He’s gained a little weight. He’s not going to the gym as much as he could be but that’s OK. He’s been focused on staying calm and not doing anything to mess his mindset up. He’s in the zone.’

Kanye, 40, has 22-month-old son Saint and four-year-old daughter North with his wife, reality TV star Kim Kardashian West.

And despite the duo suffering a turbulent 2016 – which saw Kim robbed at gunpoint in Paris – their relationship is now said to be stronger than it’s ever been.
